In the history of thought, Walter Johannes Stein is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Walter Johannes Stein as Austrian philosopher (1891–1957).
Walter Johannes Stein was born at Vienna in 1891. His recorded nationality is Austria.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Austria matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Walter Johannes Stein died in 1957, aged 66. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
